VOTER INFORMATION

The 2016 Presidential Primary is a "closed primary", as it was in 2012. This process, as outlined in Michigan Election Law, requires the voter to choose a Democratic, Republican, or no-Presidential Primary (local issues only, when applicable, which is currently not for Hillsdale Township) ballot when voting absentee or at the polls on Election Day. While a voter must select a specific party ballot, there is no political party registration in Michigan's voter registration system. The ballot selection made by the voter will be public information after the election.
